Home cooking attempt — Mango Sticky Rice from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Mango Sticky Rice from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting kaffir lime leaves right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The bright and lively result was rewarding once I got it right.

fresh herbs and aromatics are added at the last moment to preserve fragrance. I served it with fresh coconut water as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Mango Sticky Rice yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
